The world is changing every day, and the effects on wildlife can be staggering. In Zaire, poachers are systematically killing the last surviving white rhinos. In Uganda, unprecedented numbers of gorillas are being shot daily. In the United States, hundreds of dead manatees are washing up on the shores of southwest Florida, and nobody knows why.
The conflict between progress and conservation is not likely to end any time soon. Wildlife Issues in a Changing World analyzes our existing wildlife problems and suggests bold new solutions for solving them. The authors use the scientific method and a historical perspective to put these wildlife issues into 20/20 focus.
This book is an ideal text for college undergraduates and anyone who is interested in wildlife and conservation. It's written in an easy-to-read style and contains a wealth of case studies and historical and legal background. The basics of biodiversity and ecosystems are explained point-by-point and each chapter includes challenging student exercises.
